We Are Pilots is the major label debut album by Los Angeles-based band Shiny Toy Guns. It was released on October 17, 2006 by Universal Motown and is the third release by the band following two independently released versions of the album also titled We Are Pilots. The liner notes reflect this with "version 3.0".
The first single,"Le Disko", peaked at #26, the second single, "You Are the One", peaked at #25, and the third single, "Rainy Monday", reached #23 on the Alternative Songs chart. "Don't Cry Out" was originally announced to be the third single and continues to hold its place as an all-time fan favorite.
The album peaked at #90 on the Billboard 200 and #1 on the Top Heatseekers chart. The album was also nominated for the Grammy Award for Best Electronic/Dance Album at the 50th Grammy Awards.
Several We Are Pilots tracks originated with earlier influences of the founding band members, Chad and Jeremy. "Chemistry Of A Car Crash" and "Starts With One" developed from tracks of the same title from Chad's previous band, Dangerous Insects. "You Are the One" has its roots in Jeremy's trance song "Neo", that was put out under the Slyder moniker. This song was used in the popular video games Grand Theft Auto III and FIFA 07.

Season of Poison is the second studio album by American indie rock band Shiny Toy Guns. It was released on November 4, 2008 through Universal Motown Records Group. It peaked at #47 on the Billboard Hot 100 the following week. The album introduced the band's 3rd female vocalist, Sisely Treasure. The album featured two singles: "Ricochet!" and "Ghost Town".
Season of Poison generated far less hype than We Are Pilots and failed to sell well, resulting in a low sales count of 60,000 copies. In 2009, Jeremy Dawson admitted via Shiny Toy Guns' official website that while he believes Season of Poison is a great album, it was indeed too different too soon, and promised a return to their electronic roots for the band's third album. ...
